The first Avengers movie always gets me during the battle of NYC when she turns to run away and runs like a completely unathletic fat chick.  It's hilarious but still hot.

I would still prefer it if it was Jessica Bryce Dallas Howard Chastain on the screen.

I was so bummed when it came out that velociraptors are estimated to be more the size of a turkey and covered in feathers

turkey?  are there not fossils of JP-sized raptors?  I have not kept up with paleontology.

that's a cool cartoon but I had thought they had actual fossil evidence of bigger raptors.  they don't?

Much bigger raptors, just not named Velociraptor. Utahraptor, Dakotaraptor were both as big or bigger than the JP raptors.

If I remember right, Utahraptor was actually discovered while they were filming the first JP or shortly after it came out, and some paleontologists joked that they'd found "Spieldberg's raptor."

Less turkey talk, more Scar Jo talk needed. 
 

Movie looks dumb as hell but I’ll probably see it anyway.

I have 3 boys. They begged to watch this. I took my wife, youngest daughter and 3 boys to see this one this evening.

I read both books in the 90’s and convinced a troop of my friends to go watch JP on opening day and it became loved. 

I hated the 2nd movie but have been easy on all of the other ones. 

This new one was terrific for what it was. If you don’t want to watch a Jurassic Park movie, don’t go. If you dig those, this one is just fine. 

Also, ScarJo is a fatty. She needed 6 more months of work before filming. It was unfortunate to see.

Good movie. I'm there for the dinosaurs because I loved reading about them as a kid. Seeing them on screen is always cool. Really good movie to take your family to go see. I used to work at a place where Scarlett was a regular with her kids on the weekends. By all accounts she's really nice and I am glad to see her doing well. She was the star of my favorite movie ever in Jojo Rabbit. She's quite the cool actress.

Good to hear it's a good JP flick...didn't expect it to match the original, nothing will...

Seeing saturday.

It’s not. It’s a fucking soulless monster movie with a trademarked Jurassic park logo on the movie poster. The worst one by a lot and I went in knowing it would not be good.

This was probably the 2nd best after the original. Low bar, I know.

The first 20 minutes felt exactly like an early 90s Spielberg movie. Had all the same beats, cinematography, and music from the OG.  

As in all JP movies, the kids absolutely suck. No one deserved death more than Xavier and his girlfriend.

Other than the big bad mutant confrontation at the end, all the dino encounters were great.
